Hey folks, long time no update here. Anyway, as I said before I´m not playing zoom and the thread title doesn´t make any sense, so my intentions are to just let this thread die. Not sure if I really want to create a new thread, at least in the near future. So, sorry to let the few friends I made here down, but that´s the way life goes. Still playing, still enjoying poker, still trying to make progress on my game.
At an all time high right now, so I´ll close things with a graph
One thing I want to share lifewise (but with some noticeable impact on my poker routine) is that I´m microdosing magic mushrooms right now. Was quite amazed to find a few months ago ago that they are fully legal here in Brazil and you can buy dried ones (or even psilocybin capsules) from reputable sources online.
Anyway, I always found something odd with the way I approach life and my thought patterns. Never got diagnosed with depression or anything, but I was constantly finding myself getting in negativity loops inside my brain and wouldn´t even notice or, worse, thought it was pretty normal for myself and just part of my personality I had to deal with. This seemed to be getting worse as years passed, slowly increasing. So, although having this feeling something was odd, never found the necessity to check the why´s and try to understand and, who knows, change.
My approach though was to begin slightly big but still under the full dose and then drop to the "right" dosage along the way, to be able to see how it looks to be on the verge of tripping so I would know what I want to avoid and also my reactions and just have some fun. And boy, I must admit it was easily a top 5 best day of my life for sure.
So, finding life can be different, and better, from what I was used and what was so deeply ingrained in my brain, was so cool and made me really happy. Also having extremely good insights on the whys and just being able to think objectively about my problems, even on off days and when doing longer pauses to reset things.
Last but very importantly, I know the legal status of psychedelics in most countries is really screwed up and I´m not recommending ppl to break the law, even if it looks like I´m doing it
Just couldn´t help but share smth that has been so positive. Also maybe try to show to a bigger audience in this world that putting psychedelics in the same basket of other really bad drugs MAYBE wasn´t a smart thing at all, and hopefully ppl will act to change and it might improve our world.
Cheers
